Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this nursing home also earned an A+ inspection grade. This is based on the facility's recent government inspections. An A+ in this category is one of the highest complements we can pay to a nursing home. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility also was superb in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of A-. Not many nursing homes received a better grade in this category. In determining our short-term care ratings, we analyze a facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This rating is generally a fair assessment of a facility's rehabilitation services. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A- in our nursing category. We scrutinized the qualifications of nurses working for the nursing home, as well as the quantity of hours the nurses spent with patients, in calculating our rating in this category. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next area we graded was long-term care. In this area, we awarded this nursing home an acceptable grade of C. This actually is this facility's least impressive category. In the category of long-term care, we focus on the quantity of care provided by a facility, rather than more medically-intensive services. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this facility vaccinated 90.28571 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is several points lower than what we were hoping for. Nevertheless, this facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
